THE BEAT

One bar, and 18% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 85-87, 89-104 and 113-126 -- 18% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Questions

What BPM is Requiem?

200 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Requiem hard to play on drums?

84 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 64 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

183 bars, about 3:40 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 54 exercises over 20 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Requiem?

6 fills to learn, played 15 times: bars 9, 11, 79, 80, 106, 108 and 9 more.
